Needles and Pins

I saw her today

I saw her face

It was a face I love

And I knew I had to run away, yeah

And get down on my knees and pray

That they'd go away

Still it begins

Needles and pins

Because of all my pride

The tears I gotta hide

Oh, I thought I was smart

I stole her heart

Didn't think I'd do

But now I see

She's worse to him than me

Let her go ahead

Take his love instead

And one day she will see

Just how to say please

And get down on her knees

Oh, that's how it begins

She'll feel those needles and pins

Oh no, oh no

Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong?

Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong?

Because I saw her today

I saw her face

It was a face I love

And I knew

I had to run away, yeah

And get down on my knees and pray, yeah

That they'd go away

Still it begins

Needles and pins

Because of all my pride

The tears I gotta hide

Hey, needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins
